Engrish in a J-rock song [warning: thread contains some offensive language]

[madmax_vii]

Is it just me or is it quite funny some of the lyrics in J-music, like for instance, I'm watching Dir En Grey - Saku and part of the lyrics are:

"DICK MEN! FUCK OFF, FUCK OFF AND WIPE!!"


believe it or not but those are part of the actual lyrics! Another example from the song Clever Sleazoid is:

"One day I will fuck your parents!!"

to be honest I find these hysterical, what do you think?

"fuck off and wipe" is AWESOME.

also yeah i'm not surprised. i have like four songs from foreign bands whose lyrics consist of YOU ARE PIECE OF SHIT GO TO FUCK YOUR FACE. i love metal.

Only foriegn song I have is by a french guy(done in english). The ending theme for Gankutsuou... No engrish here.

 

[Cruelty]

Gackt - "To Feel The Fire" is the absolute best.

Gackt - "To Feel The Fire" is the absolute best.

actually that was a cover of a stevie wonder song, im talking about the lyrical content of actual j-rock songs, like they could be singing in japanese then say something in engrish like "waking your way the whole long day" or something non-sensical like that

 

[Cruelty]

Oh, Kyo's definitely the best at doing that.

 

[Buster]

I thought s-CRY-ed's ending theme was kind of funny... it ends with "I believe in drastic my soul!" which, of course, makes no sense at all.

and that is why Dir en grey is pure awesome.
since that line is the last thing shouted in Clever Sleazoid.

Ergo Proxy's beginning and ending themes(thank you Prexus) are a little...wierd. The beggining 'You complete my faith' 'The halo grows away,' despite actually sounding good with the voice and the song, make little grammarical sense, and unborn chicken heads at the end... well... It's unborn chicken heads....

Lol, I totally know what you mean. There's this song called "When We Reach You ~Could it be Right?~" from an old japanese "Sonic The Hedgehog"-inspired album, and the entire beginning verse is in engrish! The guy says;

"Don't wanna be wrong... Hold me so close...
(I think)Walking away, since when I find you...
Many the things, I do for you...
So many dreams... Move in time, blissful memories,
You make me feel; Wanna be with you..."

...And I thought; "WTF?"

Also, in the chorus, they say "When we reach for you, could it be right?" instad of just "When we reach you." Crazy, huh?
